Thats not something you usually hear about FN products. Everything I've gotten from them has been top notch as far as build quality goes.
The only thing I didn't really care for was the slide release on the FNP-9 and that was just because it was a little small.

well, maybe not poorly made, but it sure seems like it from the outside. i got to hold one at the range, so i didn't get to look at the internals.

go feel one.. it feels like a toy, all the controls feel like really cheap plastic..

There are many other people who do like them. The first one I held felt cheap and something was loose inside, but the others Ive held felt nice. I was at a local store last Saturday and they had 3 in stock, their other location had 2 and there was like 5 at the warehouse. I called back Sunday afternoon they were totally sold out.

"Other than being able to perforate soft body armor, the 5.7 x 28 mm used in the FN P90, as well as the 4.6 x 30 mm fired from the HK MP7 cause wounds less incapacitating than those made by 9 mm FMJ fired from a pistol.

The early 5.7 x 28 mm 23 gr FMJ bullet fired by the FN P-90 had insufficient penetration for law enforcement and military use. The current 31 gr SS-190 FMJ bullet has nearly adequate penetration, but the wound resulting from this projectile has a relatively small permanent crush cavity, as well as an insignificant temporary stretch cavity. Although the 5.7 x 28 mm penetrates soft body armor, wounding potential is at best like a .22 LR or .22 Magnum. Even 9mm NATO FMJ makes a larger wound--and we are all aware of the awe inspiring incapacitation potential of M882 ball from the M9......"

When you see a direct shot to the stirnum and it cracks the entire rib cage from vibrations and the exit velocity is still relatively high, you may change your mind!

Again, its not for everyone or every situation.. But shit it works well in some
